Dish does a credit check, and if the credit score is too low, then you will not be able to lease equipment from them. That leaves you forced to buy your equipment outright and do your own install if you want programming.

If you sign up again, you will come back as a Returning Customer. You will get something of a deal, but it won't be as good as a new customer.

My understanding is that it takes at least 3 years of not having service before you would be considered a new customer again.
